Avon Aqueduct
Highlight • Bridge
The aqueduct was built to a design by Hugh Baird, with advice from Thomas Telford, in tandem with the aqueducts at Slateford and Lin's Mill, with which it shares its design. Telford was not convinced that the stone arches were necessary in conjunction with the iron trough, but Baird used both on all three major aqueducts. Construction was carried out by Messrs. Craven, Whitaker and Nowell between 1819 and 1821, their success in building a stone bridge over the River Ouse making their tender for the contract "by far the most eligible."
The aqueduct straddles the border between the West Lothian and Falkirk Council areas, so has two Historic Scotland listings. The aqueduct is a category A listed building.
